I’m not trying to bait or annoy people. Honestly just thought it was funny. I’m saving private ryan for god’s sake

edit: it’s almost as if many of these big films are universally loved by people. it doesn’t mean they are actually bad or you should feel bad for enjoying them. i’m actually using it as a list to rewatch some classics i haven’t seenin awhille

But aren’t the descriptions about how the viewer interprets the movie rather than criticisms of the movie itself?

He’s the viewpoint character, which is enough to make some people assume you’re supposed to like and admire him.

well goddamn, i’m not giving you hexbear gold right now but this is pretty fucking good. briefly, what would be your second tag if you don’t mind

Also, Twin Peaks absolutely has a white dude critique. The entire show is just all the white dudes coming together and doing rape and genocide but abstractly.

And even all the esoteric stuff can be ignored as “lol, black lodge things, amiright??” You don’t even need to pay attention to the “logistics” or the “plotholes”, the narrative literally says it’s magic.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Twin Peaks. The symbolism is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of occult lore most of the plot arcs will go over a typical viewer’s head.

My friends made me watch Eraserhead in high school and I hated it so much that I don’t think I’ll ever give David Lynch another chance.

I’ve heard Twin Peaks is a lot more straightforward, but I just really don’t want to check it out. Also Lynch is a shitty person.

if you bounce that hard off of Twin Peaks you would struggle to perceive much less understand actual outsider art or anything genuinely weird

I dunno, I love a lot of weird and surreal stuff but for some reason Lynch just doesn’t do anything for me, outside maybe Eraserhead.

@JoesFrackinJack The Thing is the best sci-fi movie ever.

I finish every screening of any movie with a loud, gutteral: “DUDES ROCK!” Into the rapidly vacating theater.
